No school experience needed – just strong organisation skills

✅ Calm, reliable, and able to think on their feet
✅ A strong communicator who can work with a range of people
✅ Proactive and solutions-focused

You do NOT need previous school experience

Ideal for candidates from admin, scheduling, coordination, logistics, or customer service roles

Safeguarding
